View Full Version : cost of vauxhall frame and bits


20-01-2005, 07:58 AM
i have numerous vauxhall engines and know lots about the vaux side of stuff.

what cost am i looking at to get one of these into my mini.

frame and driveshafts and other parts.

is the frame for the c20xe the same frame that can be used to put a 1.6 engine in as they are interchangable on vauxhalls.

the thing is i have the mini clubman and the engines but what i dont know is how much my bank is gonna get raped for the bits to fit it

The AMT frame with driveshafts and mountings is about a grand incl VAT. You need to add the cost of coilovers (Andy can supply them for roughly £200), CVs, RJ bottom arms, RJ tie-rods and whatever carbs/injection system you choose to use. There are likely to be lots of other odds n sods you need but the costs depend on where you source them and whether you're building a mint show car or a weekend death-trap.

it would be a weekend death trap i have no shortage of vauxhall bits as i seem to aquire them and take them to bits. just take engines out and other little bits and scrap them
